Yes, I've thought for a long time now that the Genderbread Person is basically the schools handing out candy cigarettes to kindergartners, telling them, "Some of you were born to be smokers. Was it you? We can help you get real cigarettes."
Except that you can always quit smoking and recover your health.
You can never recover your health after gender-enforcing medical interference.
I have been saying this for years now. This is like doing drugs. 4 years ago when the Trans pusher came into my daughter's life. I treated her like a drug addict. She never took hormones. But she was sure addicted. The first hit is the name and pronouns. I told a parent to tell a therapist that was affirming her son to ask the therapist. Would the therapist be ok with giving her son a little meth to take the edge off a coke addiction? Or dull knives for suicidal ideation. Watching people shoot up with hormones is no different that any junkie. But, now they call it life saving.
This is brilliant. The analogy to recreational drugs in the Woodstock era is spot on. I’m from that generation and I look back with disbelief at the cavalier way my friends and I ingested any mind-altering substance that was available. I’m quite certain that if I were a teenager today, I’d be all-in on the trans option, the “orange sunshine” of the 21st century.
We thought we were the independent, hip thinkers. Yeah, right…know-nothing kids with undeveloped brains and a longing to distinguish ourselves from our dopey parents. Only now, the pushers are the adults, the teachers, the doctors, the “liberal” politicians. Dropping acid was bad enough; 14 year-olds injecting themselves with wrong-sex hormones is a whole other level of unwitting self-destruction.
I smoked pot every waking moment for four years of high school and completely wrecked my memory. Before that, I'd inherited my grandmother's nearly-savant recall. But afterward I couldn't find my butt with both hands. That memory loss has deeply impacted my entire adult life.
Aren't teens supposed to be anti-establishment? All of these twisted things are being supported by the establishment. It would seem to me that refusing all of this brainwashing is the anti-establishment thing to do. If the teachers, the medical community, and the government want you to be trans or gay, why go along? Have all of our "rebellious" teens become establishment controlled sheep?
Maybe I am clueless, but the rom-com stories I am familiar with are about couples (that is, one man and one woman) finding love and marriage. Where is the logic that liking a rom com would motivate a man to want to imagine himself becoming a woman? Which Rom Com exactly would that be? When Harry met Sally? Pretty Woman? Notting Hill? Crazy Stupid Love? A Mid-Summer Nights Dream?
Men like Rom Com. My brother who is a conservative Christian MAGA type male likes Rom Com. My Nephew likes Rom Com. These guys like Rom Com. There might be an argument that men like Rom Com more than women do at the moment
I agree, Donna. But, it is the message the kids are getting. I liked Star Trek as a kid but when my girl did she was informed it was a "sign" that she was "really a boy". Boys who like things like Rom Com learn they are "really girls". I view most of "trans" as a grooming cult. You get their minds and then they are set up for medicalzation when they hit age 18 or 19. People will do anything for a cult. Just look at Heaven's Gate.
By the way, our government is taking action via the FTC - see July 9th workshop:
Love bombing, girl friends, being seen as 'brave' and his 'authentic self; - must be intoxicating for kids like my son, an introverted, socially inept, lonely boy. And it was - enough for him to take on hormones and discard his family.
I like the analogy of social transition being the “gateway drug.” Perhaps there is a reward pathway in the brain that is activated when these kids hear their chosen name.
"The drug companies and gender clinics are thrilled to continue on this path - there are plenty of profits to be made from mercurial and autistic, nerdy teens who get to buy their drugs with a stamp of approval from society."" Spot on. My daughter is someone who would not have "done drugs".
There is some news:
The NYT which is basically all in with "GAC" (so the article is slanted) felt compelled to publish:
“Justice Dept. Demands Patient Details From Trans Medicine Providers”
They point out that "GAC" Harms vulnerable people, that children are the most vulnerable but there are vulnerable adults.
A speaker also explained how our American Medical Associations promote "GAC" because of all the money they receive from pharmaceutical companies. I was glad to hear it said.

Doctors have to do time consuming prior authorizations for life saving medications. I’ve never heard that come up once with cross sex hormones. In the era of managed care, I’ve never heard of a referral being required for a child to see a gender specialist. Although they are frequently required to see a dermatologist, cardiologist, pulmonologist, oncologist, etc…
Excellent written essay! You are correct - it is just like experimenting with recreational drugs that we all hid from our parents because it was illegal. Now, these cross-sex hormones are freely handed out - no questions asked! The kids today are more reckless than when I was a teenager. They are also more gullible. I do not know how we got here, and I cannot imagine where we are headed. Nothing good will come from this evil-cult. Nothing.
It's been two years since I've heard from what used to be my only daughter now in the clutch of California fully surrounded tmby the trans cult capital of the nation. Only those who have been through this nightmare can empathize. I'm grateful for this repost and for the real adults who are willing to speak up against the political puppets leading the trans cult and seek the change

I feel for you. But you still strike me as wise and articulate, with a lot of wisdom to contribute.
Aren't teens supposed to be anti-establishment? All of these twisted things are being supported by the establishment.

When will doctors and pharmacists start publishing the studies on the use and harm of cross sex hormones? When will the media start covering it?
Took my children out of school in 2017 and I'm so grateful.

"Girls like Rom Com".
Apparently, if you have ever liked Star Trek you are a boy!
Men like Rom Com. My brother who is a conservative Christian MAGA type male likes Rom Com. My Nephew likes Rom Com. These guys like Rom Com. There might be an argument that men like Rom Com more than women do at the moment

It's a good start.
Wow. I had not thought of the drugs in that way before. Thank you.
Love bombing, girl friends, being seen as 'brave' and his 'authentic self; - must be intoxicating for kids like my son, an introverted, socially inept, lonely boy. And it was - enough for him to take on hormones and discard his family.
There’s nothing more repugnant than a male calling themselves lesbians because of fetishes this whole transgenderism needs to end and collapse.
Drugs are literally illegal. The fact that they can get synthetic hormones just cause they have a feeling is deranged.
I like the analogy of social transition being the “gateway drug.” Perhaps there is a reward pathway in the brain that is activated when these kids hear their chosen name.
Beautifully written and so true. And it’s worse than heroin bc there is no hope of getting clean or starting over. these kids are forever changed.
